The Goldman Environmental Prize is a prize awarded annually to grassroots environmental activists, one from each of the world's six geographic regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Islands and Island Nations, North America, and South and Central America. The prize includes a no-strings-attached award of US$175,000 per recipient.〔 Since the Goldman Environmental Prize was established in 1990, a total of $15.9 million has been awarded to 157 honorees from more than 79 countries, as of 2013.〔 The Goldman Environmental Prize is headquartered in San Francisco, California.〔 It is also called the ''Green Nobel.'' The Goldman Environmental Prize was created in 1990 by civic leaders and philanthropists Richard N. Goldman and his wife, Rhoda H. Goldman.〔 Richard Goldman died at age 90 in 2010〔("Goldman Environmental Prize Creator Dies at 90" ), by ''The Associated Press'' via ''The New York Times'', November 29, 2010 2:34 p.m. EST.

Rhoda Goldman was a great-grand-niece of Levi Strauss, founder of the worldwide clothing company. The Goldman Environmental Prize winners are selected by an international jury who receive confidential nominations submitted by a worldwide network of environmental organizations and individuals. Prize winners participate in a 10-day tour of San Francisco and Washington, D.C., for an awards ceremony and presentation, news conferences, media briefings and meetings with political, public policy, financial and environmental leaders. In 2013, David Gordon became executive director of the foundation.〔 The 2015 Environmental Prize winners marking the 26th anniversary, were awarded on April 20, 2015 during ceremonies held at the San Francisco Opera House. ==Prize winners== Source: (Goldman ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goldman Environmental Prize」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
